Miami Dolphins

Someone told that the Miami Dolphins Orange Bowl was the loudest NFL stadium of all time? Is that true?

I would watch old Miami Dolphin tapes, and sometimes Don Schula and the Dolphins sidelines would have to tell the fans to quiet down. It must of been very loud.

The loudest stadium is Qwest Field.

Qwest Field has earned a reputation as one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.[9] Allen had the architects design the structure of the stadium, especially the partial roofs, to direct as much crowd noise as possible on the field. In addition, the north end zone seating, called the “Hawks Nest”, was specifically designed for rowdy fans; the seating consists of metal bleachers which reflect sound, and fans often stomp to create even more. Seahawks fans already had a reputation for being among the most vociferous in the NFL; while they played in the Kingdome, opposing teams often practiced with rock music blaring at full blast to prepare for the often painfully high decibel levels typical of Seahawk games.

During the 2005 NFC Championship Game against the Carolina Panthers, the decibel level recorded by Fox Sports telecast producers reached 137 dB.

The University of Washington Seismology lab stated that on January 6, 2007 during the 2006 NFL Playoffs, the screaming and jumping around during the game at Qwest Field was the equivalent of an earthquake measuring 3.0 on the Richter Scale.[10] The Seattle Seahawks won the Wild Card game over the Dallas Cowboys after Tony Romo botched and fumbled a game winning field goal snap near the end of the 4th quarter.

Thumbs up to those who agree.
